About this ebook

..because she's in a jam.

Erik Fielding is successful in every way, except in his quest to find a wife. When a former lover reappears in his life, the temptation to indulge in a red-hot reunion is more than he can resist. But falling for her may cost a part of himself he hadn’t counted on—his heart.

Layla Krause has a promise to keep to her recently deceased mother—meet the half-sister she didn’t know she had. Crossing paths with the man she’d helped through his grief in college offers an unexpected perk to spending a month getting to know her newfound sibling. The outlet he provides is balm to her body and soul.

Long dormant sparks between Erik and Layla become a raging fire, but the secrets she hides could do more damage than the flames from their attraction. He’ll have to sweeten the deal to get her out of a self-imposed jam.

Ratings and reviews

This was so good and entertaining. It starts with a bang, or rather a...kiss, once Layla and Erik reconnect. Their chemistry was out of this world and you can sense it coming off the screen. It was nice seeing the connection between them and Layla's connection to Lindie. The whole story itself flowed nicely and I found myself not being able to put it down until I finished it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a new Author to me, a well written book that kept me turning pages. A second chance story of to people who reconnect after losing contact after college. This is Erik Fielding and Layla Krause's story that starts off with a kiss. I enjoyed reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a really good interesting second chance romance. I liked both Layla and Erik they were good together and has super chemistry and I liked that he kinda relaxed a little bit around her. The storyline was good and I enjoyed reading this book.
